    Thanks @KeepOnKnitting - your original target was £5k and you well exceeded that, even if you came in less than £200 below your ambitious stretch target - so well done!

    Our collective total is £580,659.97 - a mere £43.5k less than the targets, which is remarkable when you look at who stopped updating/saving early

    With that update we will call for any last input before closing the 2025 thread - the spreadsheet will be kept as an archive page on the 2026 challenge sheet, along with 2024, so you can update us there, if you missed this one, and you can look at the updated totals. 

    You can find the 2026 challenge here
